Gu Zhuo walked into the black market again. There were no seats for human trafficking in the depths of the black market, and there were only a few people standing there.
Unlike those people outside, there were several large trucks parked behind these people, which were full of many things, all of which seemed to be metal materials.
Those few people didn't say anything and just waited silently against the big truck. At this moment, they saw Gu Zhuo walking in. They all stared at him like hungry wolves.
This should be a place where materials are sold, and I don’t know if there is anything Gu Zhuo needs. Gu Zhuo took out the list compiled by the machinist from his bag, took the list, and walked to the nearest lean man.
,Asked:
"Is this a place where materials are traded?"
The lean man looked him over, the beard on his face trembled, and said:
"Yes, I have the most basic materials here, and some more advanced ones, it just depends on what you need."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo handed him the list:
"Do you have all of the above?"
The man took the list, squinted at it, and then showed a very excited expression: This is a big order, at least it would take a team of eight or nine people to use it! He pointed to the top of the list and listed it.
Materials, same as Gu Zhuo said:
"I have most of the metal materials here, but some plastic materials, such as this, thermoplastic...polyester...elastomer, these are all materials used in medical equipment, right? These are more difficult to get.
"And the quantity you want is too much. I'm afraid I can't supply it by myself."
Hearing the hint in the lean man's words, Gu Zhuo smiled and followed his words and asked:
"Brother, although the materials I need are large in quantity and difficult to obtain, you must have a way to get them, right? I am doing business sincerely. As long as you get these things for me, I will definitely not
Let you suffer a loss."
The lean man clapped his hands, smiled, nodded, and said:
"Okay, since you said so, I won't hide it anymore. I can help you get such a large amount of materials. I also have access to these more difficult materials. Come with me."
With that said, the lean man stood up, no longer leaning on the truck, and led Gu Zhuo to the side.
"Sam, let's go."
Gu Zhuo held Sam's hand and followed the lean man to the side until he stopped in front of a fat man smoking a cigarette. The lean man said to the fat man:
"Old Tang, I brought you a big customer. Take a look, this is what he wants."
The lean man said and handed the list to Old Tang.
Old Tang blew out a smoke ring, put the cigarette out with his fingertips, and left a small part of the cigarette. He put the half of the cigarette into his ear, took the list and took a look.
"Zhuo, you want so many things!?"
Old Tang took a first look and caught a glimpse of the names and quantities of the materials. He couldn't help but shout out. Then, he carefully looked at Gu Zhuo in front of him and saw that he had a strange face that he had never seen before.
There was a dog beside him, and he was wearing something that looked like a dog. I couldn't help but make some calculations in my mind:
"This guy is definitely a big customer. There must be some big organization behind him. He needs to seize the opportunity to make some money, and if he gets close to him, he might be able to get him on his lap."
Thinking of this, Old Tang chuckled and read the list carefully, then handed it to Gu Zhuo respectfully and said:
"Young man, if you want these things, I'm the right one to call! Before the apocalypse, I specialized in special materials, such as medical materials, technological materials, and even aviation materials. I can get you some other metals.
Although I don’t have that much material, I can always get it together with Lao Ding.”
Old Ding is the lean man from before.
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo nodded and asked straight to the point:
"As long as you have this much material, let's talk about your transaction conditions."
Old Tang and Old Ding looked at each other, and their eyes met for a moment. Then, Old Tang rubbed his hands and laughed:
"Little brother, you have to know one thing. In this world, it is not an easy task to find such a large amount of materials at once. Moreover, you have to take a lot of risks to transport those materials here for trading.
It’s even more difficult!”
"No need to talk nonsense, just say it!"
Gu Zhuo was a little impatient.
If he wanted to keep talking according to this guy's words, I'm afraid he would have to report everything about his family situation, including the seniors and juniors waiting for dinner. Gu Zhuo was most annoyed by these long-winded words.
When Old Tang saw this, he stopped beating around the bush, stretched out a hand, opened it, and made a "five" gesture:
"Five full barrels of gasoline, five boxes of bullets, five boxes of guns, five boxes of cans, five first-aid backpacks..."
Old Tang spoke many short sentences starting with five characters in one breath, then paused and ended with:
"...Five boxes of wine. That's all, I'm a child."
Gu Zhuo's head was dizzy after hearing this. He didn't remember what he wanted at all. He only remembered that the quantity of those things was not a small amount. The combination of so many and five was really overwhelming.
After Old Tang finished speaking, he made eye contact with Old Ding. Old Ding instantly understood what he meant and echoed:
"There are so many materials that almost fill two trucks. I will accept very little from you. In the apocalypse, everyone has to support their families, don't you think so, little brother?"
Gu Zhuo felt a little hurt, but more of a helpless feeling.
The Doomsday Fortress was damaged by the attack by the three super-large infected people a few days ago. I need to repair the damage first and then upgrade it. There are many other things that require materials.
Except for Qidong, other nearby cities are probably occupied by the Prophet Cult now. We don’t know what the situation is, and it may be a dead end if we go there.
But Gu Zhuo is not stupid. He knows that he cannot spend all the supplies in the car in exchange for these materials, but he will not refuse directly. He also has a plan in mind.
"Okay, that's it. It's a deal. I'm exchanging so many things with you for materials. Once you make a promise, it's hard to follow up."
Hearing this, Old Tang and his wife were overjoyed, saying that they had been taken advantage of.
In fact, the price they just quoted can be lowered. One of the most illiquid transactions in the black market is these materials.
Because if you really want to find some metal materials, there are scrap cars and scrap furniture all over the floor. What can't a caring person get?
It's just that Gu Zhuo thought it was too time-consuming and didn't think it would be easier to just find ready-made materials.
After negotiating the deal, Gu Zhuo asked Lao Tang again:
"This is my first time buying something here and I don't understand the rules. When can I pick up the goods?"
"Four p.m."
Old Tang answered him,
"At that time, the managers here would open the trading floor, and there would be soldiers guarding it, keeping an eye on every move at the trading site to ensure that the transactions were carried out normally and fairly.
“The two parties make an appointment at the market during the day, and meet at the trading floor at four o’clock with what they have agreed upon.
"Speaking of which, I have one more thing to say. Lao Ding and I will not accept private transactions. Hehe, it's either that we don't believe you, little brother, or we think it's better to follow the rules."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo probably understood the process of the transaction. Although he heard that soldiers would be guarding the transaction site, the plan in his mind still did not disappear.
"I understand. Let's meet at the four o'clock market. I'll give you what you want."
Gu Zhuo said, then led Sam and turned around and walked out of the black market.
After Gu Zhuo walked away, Old Tang and Old Ding were still secretly chuckling. While they were discussing what kind of big and powerful organization would follow Gu Zhuo, several soldiers in charge of market order came towards them.
They walked directly to the two of them, and then asked condescendingly:
"Let me ask you, did a man come over with a dog just now and asked you to trade something?"
Old Tang and his two men didn't know what happened, but they never dared to go against these soldiers, so they quickly said obediently:
"There's... there's one, he just left."
"What did he trade, and what conditions did you propose?"
How could Old Tang and his two men dare to deceive these soldiers? They told them everything.
Hearing that Gu Zhuo was willing to spend so much money to trade two trucks of materials, several soldiers couldn't help but feel that he was not a normal person.
The leading soldier took out a phone from his pocket and dialed a number. The person who answered the phone was none other than Huang Tian.
Dabing told Huang Tian everything. Huang Tian listened on the other end of the phone, thought for a moment, and said:
"Give the phone to those two guys and I'll talk to them."
Hearing this, Da Bing handed the phone to Old Tang.
Old Tang took the phone tremblingly and heard Huang Tian's voice on the other side:
"Hey, no matter who you are, listen to what I'm saying next."
Old Tang nodded and responded to Huang Tian's voice on the other end of the phone with "uh uh uh".
